This is in my opinion, one of the most important threads. These young people, that you critiqued, are the future of this hobby.

How do you guys afford so many planes?

I'm 15 and have been flying for 2 years, I have FSOne, a Hobbyzone Super Cub, an LA Flyer 40 with an Evolution .46 engine, and a brand new Saito 100 I've been saving up for. I'm thinking of getting one of the Hangar 9 60 size warbirds for the engine, P-51 or a P-47. All of this being paid for by my minimum-wage part-time job.
